While the classic gift for a 35th wedding anniversary is coral, a more modern option is jade. Therefore, for those wanting to follow tradition, a 35th wedding anniversary gift should ideally involve coral or jade to some extent.
Of course, not everyone is a pure traditionalist when choosing a gift for their spouse, parents or another couple celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary.
If you don’t think they will be all that interested in jewellery, a trip to an exotic location to visit coral reefs would add a wonderfully luxurious touch to their celebrations.
Alternatively, on a smaller scale, you could opt for a pleasant day-trip to a local aquarium or even to a special place you visited in the early years of your marriage… maybe that romantic seaside town you both enjoyed.
My soul is full of longing for the secrets of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.” Quoted by: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
35th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple
Jewellery is always a highly coveted wedding anniversary gift, and coral and jade can be combined to create stunning pieces. Coral tends to make an exotic statement, while jade has a smoother look.
If real coral or jade jewellery is not an option, you can buy less expensive coloured jewellery, which has the added advantage of being available in just about any style desired.
Coral or marine-themed gifts – such as coral-coloured accessories or a seafood dinner – also make excellent 35th wedding anniversary choices.
